Episode # 23 guest star: Yvonne Craig

Image
Yvonne Joyce Craig (May 16, 1937 – August 17, 2015) was an American ballet dancer and actress best known for her role as Batgirl in the 1960s television series Batman and as the green-skinned Orion slave girl Marta in the Star Trek episode "Whom Gods Destroy" (1969). The Huffington Post called her "a pioneer of female superheroes" for television. After being discovered by Alexandra Danilova, a ballerina and instructor, Craig joined the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo as its youngest corps de ballet member. This training was helpful when she performed stunts while playing Batgirl. She left the ballet company in 1957 "over a disagreement on casting changes" and moved to Los Angeles in the hopes of continuing her dancing career but found herself cast in film roles. In an episode of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. ("The Brain-Killer Affair", 1965), she helps solve the mystery of a brain-endangering poison. Craig appeared as an U.N.C.L.E. employee in a

Lanchester studied dance as a child and after the First World War began performing in theatre and cabaret, where she established her career over the following decade.

She began playing small roles in British films, including the role of Anne of Cleves with Laughton in The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933).

Her role as the title character in Bride of Frankenstein (1935) brought her recognition. She played supporting roles through the 1940s and 1950s. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Come to the Stable (1949) and Witness for the Prosecution (1957), the last of twelve films in which she appeared with Laught

The Man From UNCLE Episode 23 The Brain Killer Affair Writer: Archie Tegland Director: James Goldstone Guests: Elsa Lanchester (Doctor Dabree), Yvonne Craig (Cecily Bergstron), David Hurst (Leland Elmont), Abraham Sofer (Mister Samoy) Filmed: 10-17 June 1964 Premiere: 08 March 1965 Place: New York (EUA) Acts: 1 - "... Code 20..." 2 - "... Have Dead..." 3 - "There are risks involved" 4 - "Brain Killers" FYI : This was one of the first episodes to be filmed, eight months before air. The tone is dark, dealing with death and disease all the way. It explores the drama of disability seriously. It was hard for us, fans in the 1960's seeing venerable Mr Waverly as the victim of a maniac. Yvonne Craig, future Bat Girl, is back to UNCLE. The end of the episode suggests a follow up - that never happened. Code "20A" means “Waverly in danger”. You'll find much more about UNCLE in Amaz
